Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Ontario – 2024

Good vibes. Loud environment for dinner party. Great service . There always friendly. Food is good even special request. Carne asada is good when they serve it hot. A few times had to send it back . But only that plate seems to get warm quick.

When you come to this restaurant make sure you go past the bar and go to The Beehive inside the restaurant in the back yes you can eat inside the restaurant but you want to go eat inside the Beehive they have a DJ and let me tell you the food is so freaking good oh my gosh they even have a beehive tray for different drinks so you can get a tray with three of their authentic Mexican drinks and they are fantastically good you get gummy bear Mexican Fiesta and some other drink that comes on a tray and their shots or mixtures and then the food I can't even explain how good it is my wife ordered the dozen oysters and I ordered the lobster with oysters and siete Madres I had the whole table covered in food never tripping out but I like to spin big because I only got one life to live so I'm going to eat to my full list and enjoy it but anyways this is a number one stop in the Inland Empire so you need to definitely check this place out

We had a late breakfast here, it was good, the portions are really big, it is not cheap but again, this is somewhat of a fancier restaurant Good music was playing while we were eating but the volume was low enough to carry out a conversation. There was no wait at all at that time, we showed up around 11:20am.

The atmosphere was amazing! I would recommend experiencing this place at least ones if you are visiting Canada. The service was amazing. Everyone there was very welcoming. The food was average. If you buy their alcohol drink you get a free glass cup with the cafe name on it!

This just happened to be next to Dave N Busters at Ontario Mills Mall and it was my kids birthday. So we were looking for some thing in the area and decided to check it out. The decorations were so very cool. There was an alligator outside moving in his mouth was opening and closing and they were monkeys and birds hanging. There’s a gift shop as soon as you walk inside of the restaurant to get in line to be seated. There is also a bar to the left-hand side. The only disappointing part about the decor was that the fish aquarium had absolutely no fish just bubbles and water in a tank. The only real issue that I had with service was that when we were initially sad, we were taken all the way to the back of the restaurant in the right hand corner next to where the servers come out. Obviously we chose the place for the ambience so we preferred to sit in the middle of it. I informed the hostess that we were not happy with our seating arrangement, and she took care of it for us, moving us to the center of the room. About every 30 minutes or so. A thunderstorm would happen and lights would flash and all of the animatronics would start making noises and move around. It was actually pretty exciting. We got the awesome platter of adventure. Everything was good except the southwest rolls were a little spicy so for someone who does not like a little kick I would not suggest it. I ordered the rainbow colada with the take home glass which was good but I feel it could’ve had a bit more alcohol. My kid got the bird collectible which was about a kids size drink. Honestly I was expecting for the quality of the food to be similar to red lobster for some reason, but I would say that this is a grade above that. I got the Rasta pasta and it was exceptionally good. My kid got the fish and chips, and he stated that that was good as well. One of my other kids got a grilled cheese and they said it wasn’t the greatest. my other child got spaghetti and it was decent. We also got the steak and shrimp. We ordered it medium but it’s such a low grade of steak that it seems only medium rare or well done would be realistic options. We just didn’t eat it because it came out bloody. They sang happy birthday to my kid and gave him a free cupcake. I will say it’s a little pricey, but for the ambience and a special occasion worth it.

Tl;Dr Don't come here, incompetent cook and team. Food is equality of a fast food joint. Actually, I'd probably get a better meal at Jack in the box and it's cooked right and at least hot. And it doesn't take hours to get it. Long version. First time and last time coming here. I hate to sound so prude but the food was rather awful. Most of the food we got was between barely warm to nearly cold, as if it was sitting around for a while. The club sandwich bread was over toasted and ended up eating only the turkey meat. And my mozzarella sticks were overcooked leaving no cheesy fluff in them. But here is where it gets real interesting. We waited nearly 3 hours to get our food! It took so long we decided to walk around in the shop. For we could not stay in our chairs any longer after 2 hours of waiting. Which by the way start to feel like touter cause the chairs have zero cushion. See the photo and image sitting on that for hours. Look I'm not complaining to just complain okay they did try to redeem themselves at the end by giving the kids some toys and stuff. And the atmosphere is pretty cool but after the fifth time of a random thunderstorm you get over it. And the manager did apologize for the wait. Their generosity and apology does not go without appreciation but they dropped the ball with this one. In conclusion, If I was offered to go here again to have a completely different experience I would kindly refuse. I cannot recommend this place nor will I ever set foot in it again. First impressions are everything and boy did this one leave the wrong one.

Such a fun and happy vibe as hamburger Mary’s in Ontario everybody was so nice and welcoming. The food was delicious. The drinks were great and the show was out of this world!! Can’t wait to go back and have more fun at hamburger Mary’s Ontario.

I love it here, besides the $10 entry fee and still tipping the Queens I can say it's Definitely a Fun Experience, I've been here before I brought a few people to enjoy the show. The food is okay for my taste & the Drinks are good as they should. All in all a 7/10 out my Book :)

The Queens put on a great show. So much fun. $10 fee to get in. Don't forget your dollar bills to tip the Queens. Food is good. Atmosphere is great. Very friendly service. Great place for a girls night, divorce celebration or birthday.

Small quaint diner with a Western theme. Casual dining. Friendly staff. I ordered the Kitchen Sink Omelet, which came with hash browns and a side of their famous biscuits & gravy. My omelet was good. Some of my hash browns were cooked really hard & I couldn't eat them. I was able to salvage a good portion of it. The gravy on the biscuits had a nice flavor, and the biscuit underneath was good. Breakfast and lunch are served all day and they have quite a few options at reasonable prices. New items on the menu include chicken & waffles and also fried catfish that can be served with grits. Service was fast, and the serving sizes are nice. I would recommend this spot.

I usually go here when I want to have breakfast. It's quiet and the service is good, friendly and accommodating. I'm a vegetarian but still a couple of good options. I chose the omelet with my choice of bell peppers, green chilies and cheese, with sliced avacado on the top, and a side of potatoes. I can never eat the whole dish but I try . The potatoes were a little crispy but still good.

The pancakes are huge! Everything was delish! If ever back in the area, we will definitely return! Started digging in before taking a picture, my bad.

I eat here often. A year ago I would’ve gave them five stars, but I noticed some big changes. They had the game on , our drinks were delicious , and the mojarra frita was good, but not as seasoned this time around. However, when we noticed the “PSA” on our table, saying the first round of chips & salsa “is on the house” but any additional is $2.50, I was perplexed. Most restaurants usually give you unlimited bread, chips/salsa, biscuits, etc. with your meal, especially if you’re paying $40+ per person. Oh I want to mention our server (forgot his name) was GREAT!

I was in love with the place from decorations to the food and service. We had a great time and we devoured a very tasty dinner.

The Mexican restaurant was a delightful experience. The food was excellent; we enjoyed the El Pascador Fajita which was generously portioned and perfect for sharing. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It's definitely a place worth visiting again!

The place is large but we'll designed so it feels comfortable. There are tables inside that main hall, sitting by the bar and glass wall patio. Service is quick and courteous. Drink quality is good, better than BJs by a long shot for example. Food is fine but less expensive dishes are not so good. Halibut and lobster are very nice though. Deserts are very nicely done as well.

Decided to try the Seasonal Halibut this was an excellent choice. The dish displayed a creative combination of stacked delicious food. The Halibut was seared well. The Fisherman’s stew you need to have a big appetite when ordering this dish. Plenty of seafood all the tools you need to remove the meats from the shells.the stew is seasoned and inviting.

The dining room is showing its age, but the service was great. The food was really good too. We got raw and grilled oysters. The grilled oysters were perfect! Wifey had the Lobster Ravioli, and I had the Fish Tacos. The tacos had a good balance of fish, produce, and a sauce that I really liked. My wife liked the Raviolis.

Lunch Buffet! You can’t beat this deal of lunch buffet at El Torito. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly, especially Fabiola in the bar area. This has become my local lunch buffet.

It's one of my favorite places. Love the live DJ every night. Food and service are always great. One must have the El Dueno!!

Party of 3 celebrating a birthday. Seated in a short amount of time and the drinks came about as quickly as expected. We munched on chips and salsa while we waited. I don't like focusing on the negative, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Our server was Nora J and she was very pleasant. The restaurant was not that crowded and that was a plus for us. The plates arrived hot, but the food was not. Our drinks did not get refilled, we asked several times for extra napkins but eventually asked Jose (worker) and he brought them right over (we tipped him of course). That's all I can remember as this review is not in real time. Despite all of this, the experience was okay.

I stopped by here for my lunch break, and it was great! The hostess was very nice, asked me how my day was going and sat me quickly. Gabby, my server was excellent and very attentive even while they were busy. If you like tea, try their Lavender Iced Tea, I thought it was delicious! And it was decorated very nice almost didn't want to drink it. I ordered the Ahi salad and it was terrific. I definitely recommend coming. I'm going to comeback again soon to try some of their other meals.

Visiting Ontario and our Server Nick was amazing! Pet friendly establishment, even brought out water bowls ,split their meals up. Very knowledgeable about the alcohol and food menu. I was able to customize dish to my liking. Ribs have a great flavor and are fall off the bone tender. Steak was cooked just right. Mac and cheese balls were delish but only come 3 to an order. Wings had a nice flavor and were not overwhelmingly spicy. Burrito was on point and hit it the spot. The corn has a smokey flavor I do not care for. I definitely recommend and look forward trying other menu items. Thank you again for the great Service. Everyone was very inviting and friendly all the way around

Located next to and part of the Westin. The food is good, pretty typical, but they put a delicious spin on many traditional faves like al pastor fish tacos and pastrami quesadilla. They also have some really good local beers on draft, and I recommend the Broken Skull IPA and the Funner IPA. Service is good and the manager is on top of it.

A COZY FAMILY RESTAURANT! Spires is a mix of a Denny's, Norms, and Coco's with a slightly more charming design than Cocos. The circular restaurant serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. I recommend the Spires Original Beefeater which comes with thinly sliced roast beef with melted jack cheese on grilled Parmesan cheese bread. It's tasty and the meat is perfect. The bread on the sandwich could be improved, it's not as "Parmesan-y" as it could've been. The fries are thick and accompany the sandwich well. The waitress was super nice, she took down my order wrong and came back to apologize after I was given the wrong meal. I got my correct meal after a little longer of a wait and she kept apologizing for the error. That's good service when staff have accountability! I mentioned I had a Yelp offer of a free coffee but she forgot. Hopefully next time I can get it. Therefore, if you have a free coffee offer, make sure you keep reminding the staff if you want it! The restaurant was clean, mellow and everyone was attentive to the customers. Spires has some lunch specials and great dinners/breakfasts for seniors! The restaurant also has a fridge with desserts inside. Idk if they're made fresh here or not, however everything looked enticing! There's plenty of parking here and it's good for different size groups. It's super close to the Ontario Convention Center and nearby hotels!

I had to wait over 20 mins to get food and they weren’t even crowded. My server was acting so busy. I had to actually get up and ask when my order would be taken. This place is not effort and just not worth the wait. I wouldn’t recommend.

It was super busy, but once we were seated the service was outstanding. Food was good and the server was friendly and attentive. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. Would recommend.

Everything was bad. The food was too hard to open with scissors. The service was very slow. The hostess told us to wait outside for our party it was 100 degrees outside. The waiter never got our order right, and our bill was over 400.00 dollars? The bathrooms looked like someone did a murder up in there? I have been to a lot of places, but this place needs major help.

Halloween evening we decided to go to the pescador but it was closed next door there’s this restaurant the bucket crab and crawfish, so we decided to try it. We’ve passed this place many of times, but never stopped until now. The structure is decorated really nice with plenty of tables to sit down and enjoy your meal. We ordered shrimp tacos, calamari, fried catfish and fries. To drink it was Dr Pepper. We really enjoyed the food also the waitresses we’re attentive, courteous and friendly .They have so many options on the menu one option is seafood bags but it’s a little bit more money.We enjoyed coming here .we’ll be back. There’s plenty of parking with the handicap stalls close to the entrance.

Juan was our waiter, his service was amazing. The atmosphere was great as well. Food was bomb, can't wait to come again

My tacos were so GOOOOOD!!! My hubby’s chicken and veggie plate — was a miss. Thankfully he ordered tacos as well so he was still able to enjoy that part. We felt like we were on vacation lol the service was top notch as well as the food and drink! Elizabeth, Nick, and I forgot the older man’s name but he sparked a nice convo with us about living in ATL, he was super cool too! We’ll definitely be back and I HIGHLY recommend Gloria’s taco! Sooooo goooood!!!

Food not that good but the use real asada Shrimp ceviche tasted fishy Floutas tasted not authentic.. Food wasn’t for me great service and clean place

This is a great place with its own character and charm. On weekends, it’s pretty popular, so you might need to wait for a table. The portions here are really big, so come hungry. The drinks are huge too, they serve beer in massive mugs and their lemonades are just as impressive. What’s on the menu: Starters to Share: Things like nachos, meatballs, sticky ribs, and even a giant Bavarian pretzel. Perfect for sharing with friends or family. Pizza: Creative options like Hawaiian Heat or BBQ Pulled Pork pizza. Salads & Soups: Fresh and flavorful options, including shrimp salad, cobb salad, and a hearty chili. Main Dishes: Big, hearty meals like steak, salmon, ribs, and chicken, all served with comforting sides like mashed potatoes or veggies. Burgers: A great selection, from classic cheeseburgers to more unique ones like a spicy jalapeño burger or a turkey burger with Thai flavors. Comfort Food Favorites: Dishes like pulled pork sandwiches, fish and chips, and cheesy pasta. Everything here feels made with care. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to settle in, enjoy the company, and take your time with a delicious meal!

I went to Heroes for the first time yesterday, 10/25/24 and I was incredibly impressed. Their food and drink portions are massive, the service was 10/10 and they have plenty of seating. Definitely worth the wait on a Friday night. They have LOTS of TVs with views from any angle the people at your table are sitting at. I highly recommend this place, and will come back for more! We ordered the nachos as an appetizer and it fed our table of four with a third of the plate left over (yay, leftovers!).

First time here, I did not know the place was here. We only stopped because it looked busy so it must be good. Yes in deed. The food was good and plenty of it. Extra large servings, all the way down to the drinks. I was full after a couple bites. I have dinner for tonight and maybe lunch for tomorrow. Great service, everyone who worked there waited your table. We got to sit outside on a nice day in Ontario. Check it out if your hungry and want to watch the game. Lots of room for a tailgate party.

Visiting the area I found this place. Great service, great people working here. The food it’s good & the deserts are huge & delicious. Reasonable prices too. If you love breakfast like I do, this is a great option.

My best friend and I LOVE coming here for a last-minute breakfast date. Their serving size is huge, and they cook it so well they are usually very quick to seat and serve you.. Update: my best friend and I went to the iron skillet again on a Sunday and our experience was totally different. I usually ask for my potatoes extra crispy and my best friend usually asks for her eggs over medium.. BUT when our food came to us, we were told that they couldn’t fulfill our requests because “it’s so busy”… which is odd bc there were seats and booths still open at this time. The food quality was also up to par with what we’ve had at this restaurant before. Not sure what happened, but if you guys decide to visit this place, make sure it isn’t on a Sunday when they’re “so busy”

First time eating here I got the breakfast club melt and my mom got Eggs Florentine . Everything was very good . Ana was our waitress and she was very nice and helpful.

I can only comment on the fish ceviche to go. It left a lot to desire and mind you I have been to Nayarit and know that each state has its own way of preparing seafood. Seems like they put fish in a grinder, which sounds silly but everything prep by hand taste better. It was missing tomatoes and the lady over the phone argued it had, I must be blind then. Maybe other plates are better. It was also overpriced compared to other spots in IE with better quality.

The food was delicious, cold beer, & the music was nice & loud… my favorite. We ordered aguachiles and chicharrón de pescado, tacos de asada & langostinos! everything was delicious …

Came to this place wanting some fresh seafood. Disappointed, the place wasn't even packed for the drinks and food to be delayed to come out and take so long. Waitresses are just lalagagging instead of paying attention to their tables. Music Unnecessary loud when the crowd doesn't suit the vibes, your tone deaf by the time you leave. Worst service ever. Food mediocre. Atmosphere Can't really explain it with lights changing colors every second while you eat.
